Luna BBSHD Ludicrous V2 controller documentation

[marcos]

Hi Andy, the VESC tool app is only compatible with the ludi v2 controller option, it doesn't work with the the stock bafang controller.
If you have the ludi v2 option, try to connect with the phone right next to the bluetooth antenna (behind the chainring), we replaced a few controllers that got the antenna damaged during assembly.

Hi Marcos,

Thank you for all your information. I am a total new to Ebikes and I just put together my Luna X2 today. I took it out for run and everything seems to be good. I am totally confused about changing any of the settings and using the VESC tool. I had to purchase a new Android phone (I am an iPhone guy), but I don't know what I am doing to connect to the VESC tool. This is what I have done so far:

1. New Android phone
2. Downloaded new Luna VESC app
3. Turned the power on the bike on
4. Used the app to scan for VESC controller, but nothing comes up.

Do I have to change any settings on the C240 display & controller? Do I need a different controller to even use the VESC tool?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Andy

nope, not yet. This merge was a necessary intermediate step to get the m600 code ready for merging in a future PR

[rtp]

including m600 changes or not yet?
Happy New Year!!

BBSHD Ludicrous V2 firmware was merged into the public VESC repo 5 minutes ago: https://github.com/vedderb/bldc/pull/392
Have a happy new year folks!

Great…thanks.

Yes, i just added it to the to-do list.

One thing that could help... when you lose connection, you can swipe right on the left edge to pull a menu from the left edge.

When you tap "Reconnect" the logging resumes. It even continues writing the same file which is much better than having several .csv files for a single ride

[StvMan]

Marcos … could you add data logging “on” to the default condition for both the BBSHD and the M600 V2 controllers … or at least have it default to last known switch position. … This is particularly important if the user is having Bluetooth connectivity issues … Thanks again for all of your hard work!!

Display wheel size is ignored, so set in on the controller side.

If you log the ride, in the log you can plot phone GPS speed and wheel speed in the same graph and compare them.
GPS speed reacts slower so try a long steady ride to better see the difference.

go figure - I reflashed first thing, and the display speed is happy. Well, I should say, there are speed numbers likely in the ballpark - gotta strap on the el-cheapo GPS and take the bike out for a shakedown.

Way to remote-troubleshoot there, Marcos!

By the way, which wheel size setting wins - the display or the controller?

[marcos]

i have no clue, I don't really know what it takes to make that happen, I just see a bunch of activity regarding this in the vesc tool repository...

marcos Any idea on the release timeline for the iOS app for the BBSHD and X2 ludi?

[marcos]

if you are in doubt its better to reflash the firmware :)

Thanks Marcos - tomorrow, I'll do some prelim stuff like dredging up a display from elsewhere, rechecking wheel size settings, and so forth.

I bench-fired the controller via USB before bolting it up and might have fat-fingered a setting. I had backed the max amps down to what I hope the BMS can do, and eased the throttle oomph for the Alfine IGH.

So, there's a myriad of things to go after.

[marcos]

um, its not a known issue. It could be a unknown issue though. I just asked the guys to give it a quick check and if they can reproduce it I'll get a display sent to me for debugging.
What would be cool is to get the app working on iPhone, wouldn't it?
